Why? When you're shooting over 48% from 3, you've got the green light. I'll take the spacing he creates (and not to mention, the extra point).
He's already shown he can step inside and knock it down, hell, he's even shown he can take it off the dribble and create space for himself.

Chandler. Single-handedly changed the defensive culture of this team.

The best part is how the MSG crowd starts to cheer the moment Novak sets his feet to shoot.

After Novak hits his third three, everyone on the Knicks bench is on notice. After the next make, they stand and do "the triplecheck move" in unison.
That would be cool.

I'm laughing at this thread because it is such a great question, and so obvious.
Yet (to my knowledge) we have never discussed this!!!
We are so worried about a million negative things concerning the Knicks that we never take time to discuss something as fun and basic as: What (or who) do you enjoy most about watching the Knicks!!!
OK, my 2 cents:
1. Chandler: I just love his intensity and solid, solid play, and love watching the huge difference maker he is on defense, either by blocking shots, altering shots or just plain keep people from even daring to drive through the lane.
2. Novak: What I love about this guy is his ability to get himself open looks, as well as to get shots off quickly even with a defender on him. You can be the best shooter in the world, but unless you can get the shot off, it does not matter.
3. Lin: I love when he is hitting his short to mid-range floaters. Those are beautiful shots that always amaze me. The Pacers announcers were mesmerized by him the other night.
4. Jeffries/Shumpert: I'll lump these two together. I just love when the second unit makes things happen with the intense defense.
When this team is right, as they have been lately, they are such a pleasure to watch for a variety of reasons...

Think the normal choice is Jeremy Lin he is doing all kind of fun basketball things I really enjoy but I gotta agree with fish on this that 'iron mike' Tyson Chandler is my overall choice.
Tyson is all oldschool n lil tad of new school play mix, but he's one knick who seems really INTO the game as one may say, all 4 quarters & regardless if knicks are winning or losing he gives max effort all the time.

This is my favourite thread of the past 3 seasons. Thread of the year locked up.
No 1 for me has to be Tyson. What a center. Beautiful to watch. Close second is watching Melo drive the ball. Even when he misses, and goes up for offensive rebound after offensive rebounds. He really is brilliant at getting his own shot back. He's got unbelievable quickness. And 3 is of course Novak from 3. Even the announcers know its going in.

I think the three point line is his mid range game. The NBA just hasn't added more space and a four point line for Novak to exploit.
